Bad news: Top 10 cartoons of the week

There's bad news everywhere. War in the Middle East. Ongoing fighting in Ukraine. Global warming run amok. Mass shootings across in the U.S. 

A lot of our most popular cartoons this week weighed in on the doom and gloom surrounding us, but Rick McKee struck a nerve among editors with a funny look at bad news for lots of folks – Christmas encroaching on Halloween. Plenty of stores were replacing Halloween candy and decorations with Christmas junk weeks before kids even hit the pavement for trick-or-treat.

Bah, humbug! 

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
